Who can guess what the output of (3) will be just from Section 1.3.2 of the

Hmm, for me FriCAS produces expected result.  And while I now
have "insider knowledge" my expectations concerning previous
result did not chage compared to my first contact with Axiom.
What did you expect?

The question is whether % refers to the value of the last line (A) or to the value of the last evaluated expression (B).
Mathematica and Axiom use semantics (A), Maple uses (B).

I expected (B), i.e. x3=102.

I just say, such example should be added to the book.
